Classes Ending in 1 and 6 it was great celebrating your reunions!


And it's a wrap! Alumni/ae Reunion Weekend 2026!

It was so good to see everyone back in Annandale to celebrate the best day of the year.

We had almost 4,000 people on campus during the weekend, including the Class of 2026, their families and friends.

Shout out to all the alumni/ae volunteers: Reunion class leaders, participants in special events, and members of the Board of Governors.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Bard College Fund in honor of their reunion. If you would like to join your classmates in supporting the College, please do so by June 30. It’s not too late to contribute and give back to Bard. 

In July, we are going to start planning all over again so please, tell us how we did and how we can do better. We want to hear from YOU.  In the meantime stay up to date with all things Bard, and be sure to check out our Instagram!

If you have any questions, check out our FAQs, or reach out to [email protected].

Bard College Awards

Friday, May 22, 2026
Commencement Tent
This year, the Bard College Awards returned to main campus under the big tent where guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, and the awards ceremony all in one place. At this elegant seated dinner we recognized exceptional alumni/ae achievements and the careers of distinguished faculty. The award presentations that opened and closed the evening were hosted by Mollie Meikle ’03, president of the Bard College Alumni/ae Association Board of Governors, and Bard President Leon Botstein.
